What do these numbers mean?
A day counts once per weather type, even when there are several reports. Hail 1 inch+ is included in all hail sizes; don’t add the categories together.
The regional map can cover several counties, so its totals may differ.
Sources & coverage
Finding your area
Official Census 2020 references connect cities and ZIP areas to counties. ZIP areas approximate postal ZIPs; newer ZIPs, PO boxes and some community names may not match. Try your county name instead.
Reading the records
NOAA history counts days across the whole county, not storm paths at your address. Forecast-zone events are excluded. Historical boundary changes are not remapped; missing years are noted in your result.
Keeping it current
Read the reporting dates alongside your results. Preliminary SPC reports arrive sooner than the historical archive and may be revised. Unclear county matches are left unassigned. No matching reports does not prove there were no storms.

Dates, not guesswork.
Historical totals and recent preliminary reports have their own clearly labeled windows.
Your county is the context. Your roof needs its own check. A report nearby doesn’t confirm damage at your home. Missing reports don’t rule it out.

A FEW HELPFUL ANSWERS
Storm records, made clearer.
How do I find hail history by ZIP code?
Enter your five-digit ZIP in the free lookup above. If it spans more than one county, choose yours. You will see county-wide NOAA hail, wind and tornado day counts for 2017–June 2026, plus preliminary reports in the separate recent reporting window.
Search your ZIPWhen was the last hail storm in my area?
Open “Recent storm reports” after selecting your county to see dated observations in the available window. An empty list does not mean your area has never had hail. The historical totals count days, rather than listing every old event; use NOAA’s archive to research an older storm date.
Search NOAA’s historical eventsCan I also check the upcoming weather?
Yes. Search a city or ZIP for a separate National Weather Service daytime forecast, when available. It uses a city or approximate ZIP-area point, not your street address. Select a day for wind and rain details, or follow the full NWS forecast for overnight conditions and current advisories. Forecasts are separate from the historical county totals.
Look up your areaCan I get a free hail report for my address?
This lookup is free, with no account or email required. It finds county records using a city, county or ZIP; it does not search a street address or trace a storm across your property. It is not a certified weather report or evidence that a particular roof was damaged.
How our weather data worksWhat size hail can damage a roof?
The National Weather Service uses hail of at least 1 inch—about quarter size—as a severe-thunderstorm threshold, and hail this size can damage roofs. It is not a pass/fail test for your home. Roof materials, condition and the storm itself matter. Document visible changes from the ground and arrange an inspection if you have concerns.
NWS severe-thunderstorm guidanceHow can I tell if my roof has hail damage?
From a safe place on the ground, look for new dents on gutters or downspouts, missing shingles, debris and new leaks indoors. These are reasons to investigate, not a diagnosis. Some roof damage is hard to see from below; a roofing professional can inspect and document the roof safely.
The after-storm inspection checklistWhy can’t I find my ZIP, or why are no reports shown?
Census ZIP areas approximate postal ZIP codes. PO boxes, new ZIPs and some place names may not match; try your county and state. “No matching reports” describes only the displayed area and date window. Unavailable historical records are shown separately, and neither message proves that no storms occurred.
